In The Shape of Lies, the story unfolds around Anna, a devoted wife, mother, and head teacher who finds her life unraveling when her past resurfaces in an unimaginable way. Just when she thought she had left her troubled history behind, the voice of Scott, her deceased boyfriend, echoes through the radio. He was the love of her life, but his death should have freed her from the grip of their tumultuous relationship. Instead, his unexpected return threatens to expose the secrets she has carefully hidden away.

As Anna grapples with the implications of Scott's return, she is forced to confront her past decisions and the lies she has told to maintain her current life. With DCI Tom Douglas on the case, seeking answers about Scott's reappearance, Anna feels the walls closing in around her. Time is of the essence, and she has only one week to locate Scott and put an end to the chaos he has unleashed.

As the story unfolds, readers are taken on a suspenseful journey filled with twists and turns, leaving them questioning the nature of truth and deception. Can Anna outsmart the past that refuses to stay buried, or will her lies finally catch up to her?
